Hi, my name is Syndie and I love in Baltimore, MD.

Wow, it is hard to believe that I first started working out on wowy almost 2 years ago. I was really seeing some great progress too. Though I never did get down to my goal weight, I kept seeing a steady progress and I felt very confident that I was going to reach my goal. Unfortunately, my husband got very sick and he needed constant care while he waited for a liver transplant. I would workout whenever I could fit one in. The sicker he got, the less time I could spend working out. Then finally, the illness got so bad that he could no longer wait for a liver. He was jumped to the top of the list. Thank God he got is liver in time. However, his recovery was not a quick one. He spent several months in the hospital. I had to work, run back and forth to the hospital, and meet the demands of every day life. I did not have enough "me" time. I also did not have much time to plan out healthy meals. I found myself eating fast foods for all my meals. Add that to the amount of stress that I was forced to endure and all that hard work that I did to make myself slimmer and to make me feel better was gone. I started to put the pounds back on. Ok, a few months should not be a big deal. He will get better and come home and then I would be able to resume my workouts, right? WRONG! Though he came home, he still needed 24 hour care. He had home nurses come in while I was at work, which was very helpful. The stress level did not improve a whole lot. Somehow, I injured my neck before my husband was released from the hospital. I refused to have it looked at until I knew he was home and going to be OK. Unfortunately, I could not wait for him to completely recover. I had to have major surgery to my neck that forced me to be out of work for 7 weeks. I also had to go to physical therapy for several months. Well, since my neck was injured, I was not able to resume my workouts. I am almost back to the same weight from which I started. Does that depress me? It sure does! Did I find comfort in food? Not really but I ate it any way. So now, I am very unhappy with my body again and feeling very unhealthy because of it. I am tired of feeling this way. Only I can change it. I know what I need to do to change it so this what I am going to do. I am going to start out easy using some of the programs that I am familiar with. I am going to try a few new things as well. Thing is, this time I know that I can do it. I did it before. I loved it when I was doing it. I felt good, I was looking better and I loved working out. It is amazing how much energy you get from working out. I want that back and I am going to get it.
